Biography

Who Is Elden Henson?

Elden Henson was born in Rockville, Maryland, U.S. in 1977 and is 49 years old. Credited on films since 1986, as an actor. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.

Elden Henson (born Elden Ryan Ratliff on August 30, 1977 in Rockville, Maryland) is an American actor whose career spans four decades of film and television. From his earliest days as a toddler model for Fords Models to his breakout role as Fulton Reed in The Mighty Ducks trilogy, Henson has cultivated a reputation for both athletic charisma and sharp comedic timing. He began acting in commercials at age six, earned his SAG card by 1982, and quickly moved into supporting parts on both the big and small screens, appearing in Elvis and Me (1988) and the beloved Turner & Hooch (1989). Over the 1990s he became a familiar face in teen‑oriented movies such as She’s All That, Idle Hands, and The Butterfly Effect, while also exploring behind‑the‑scenes work through his short‑lived production company Roulette Entertainment with Josh Hartnett. In the late 2000s he diversified his résumé with roles in Lords of Dogtown and the time‑bending thriller Deja Vu, and he continued to make guest appearances on a variety of network series.

In 2013 Henson portrayed Apple engineer Andy Hertzfeld in the biopic Jobs and was cast as Pollux in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and Part 2, solidifying his presence in high‑profile franchise cinema. His most iconic recent work is the role of Foggy Nelson in Netflix’s Daredevil (2015‑2018), where his quirky blend of earnestness and humor earned him a devoted fan base and recurring appearances in The Defenders, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and the Disney+ revival Daredevil: Born Again. Throughout his career Henson has demonstrated an ability to transition seamlessly between comedy, drama, and superhero genre work, making him a versatile and enduring talent in modern Hollywood.
